NVIDIA & EVGA GeForce GTX 670 2GB Video Card Review

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is the third game in the Deus Ex first-person role-playing video game series, and a prequel to the original game. Announced on May 27, 2007, Human Revolution was developed by Eidos Montreal and published by Square Enix. It was released in August 2011. Human Revolution contains elements of first-person shooters and role-playing games, set in a near-future where corporations have extended their influence past the reach of global governments. The game follows Adam Jensen, the security chief for one of the game’s most powerful corporations, Sarif Industries. After a devastating attack on Sarif’s headquarters, Adam is forced to undergo radical surgeries that fuse his body with mechanical augmentations, and he is embroiled in the search for those responsible for the attack.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution uses a modified Crystal Dynamics Crystal game engine, which some of you might know as the game engine from the last Tomb Raider game title. The game developers did some rather hefty modifications to this engine though as the graphics are superb in this title.

Benchmark Results: In Deus Ex the pair of GeForce GTX 670’s slipped towards the bottom of the charts. The largest performance differences are at 2560×1600, the EVGA GeForce GTX 670 SC was able to average 65.8 frames per second while the reference NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 averaged 64.5 frames per second. That’s a difference between the two cards of 2%. Even the GeForce GTX 680 also saw a performance hit at 2560×1600, in part due to the 2GB frame buffer on the NVIDIA cards compared to the 3GB frame buffer on the the MSI R7970 Lightning and the Sapphire HD 7970 Dual-X graphics cards.
